Brief Answer:
Osteophyte to rule out through X-ray examination...

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

If it is under the skin, not movable or if you notice as continuation of bones of that area, which is often called bones spur (osteophyte).

X-ray examination can rule it out.

You can take anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen) to ease the pain and apply anti-inflammatory gel locally.
